Need Firefight Halo 3: ODST Teammates?

Last week saw the release of the highly anticipated first-person shooter Halo 3: ODST. Along with that release came Firefight, a cooperative campaign mode allowing up to four players to valiantly take on wave after wave of brutally aggressive Covenant attackers. Unfortunately this incredibly fun multiplayer arena came minus a matchmaking system, meaning you are left to your own devices to find teammates without any assistance from Xbox Live. That has proved to be a hindrance to many gamers so I have decided to create a database of Halo fanatics looking for Firefight teammates. If you would like to be included on this master list, please leave your exact gamertag and your official time zone in a comment. Optional information you may leave includes whether you play weekdays or weekends (or both), and if your regular gaming hours are AM or PM (or both). This article will be updated to include the list itself so bookmark it, save the link, or memorize the url. Happy ODST-ing!

This list is best utilized by logging into your Xbox.com profile, going to your personal page, and cutting and pasting the gamertags into the ‘Find a Gamer’ search bar. When sending friend requests or messages via this resource, please start each text message with, “RE: HMB FF LIST” so the recipient knows where you got their information from. Please do not spam; single messages suffice. A time zone conversion tool can be found here.

WD-Plays primarily on the weekdays
WE-Plays primarily on the weekends

I’m more into having fun, not gamerscore. I would rather play on easy/nomal. I’m unfortunately very busy from work/life, so i’m not sure i have the time to develop the skill level for Heroic/legendary I enjoy more the carnage than racking up points.

I’m usually on playing Fallout or trying to finish one of the other bazillion games I have, and I can’t promise I’ll be on every week. Anyone can msg me if they really need the help, though. And by “really need”, I mean desperate for a teammate who will serve as a meatshield for you.

My friends list is close to full, but I’ll accept any that mention hawtymcbloggy.com.

What would be really great is if this all went into a database where you could ask it “who said they might be playing Firefight right now?” so it could give you a list of possible fellow players. If it was really slick it could check to see if they’re on-line and in ODST and skip anyone who’s not.

A year ago I would have tried to do that myself, but ever since I opened my own Spartan training facility (martial arts school), my schedule has become too tight to do that sort of thing.

our community have also set up a silver tag “Firefight UK” for people who want to find people to play firefight with, please ping it a friend request, all friends of that gamertag will be people who play firefight.

Gamertag: John Killer118
Time Zone: Eastern Standard Time
Active Hours: A little during the weekdays, but the weekends is when I do most of my gaming. I stay up until 2 am on Friday and Saturday nights.

Oh, and I only talk if it’s necessary. I hate my voice. I always stutter and almost never have anything interesting to say, but I’m damn good with a pistol.

Time Zone: Pacific
Time Available: Weekdays: 4:30 P.M. – 8:00 P.M.
Weekends: (Odd) Between 9:00 A.M. – 8:00 P.M.
Musts: Guys or Girls, Just talk, I want to have a good time, kick some ass, and get high on the leaderboards, I can last as long as we have to. I Screw around a lot when it comes to talking but dead serious (most of the time) When It comes to playing.

Weekends: Generally from 10 AM to 11 PM.

All times are unfortunately subject to the whims of classwork, but that’s life for ya.
Mostly just interested in getting a chance to really play Firefight and tear the Covenant a new one. Can’t say whether or not I’d really suck, since I haven’t had much opportunity to play full 4-player Firefight yet, but there’s only one way to find out.

GT: Strikemaster NZ
Timezone: UTC +13 Hours
Availability: 9-12pm Weekends/weekdays
Musts: PLEASE don’t contact me if you are not from NZ or Australia! All lag and no play makes Strikemaster a dull boy.
Looking to get the endure achievement and deja vu if possible.

I play on weekdays and weekends, mondays and wednesdays I can’t be on before 3:00 and not alot at all on mondays. Tuesdays and Thursdays class ends by noon so any time after that. Friday nights are usually busy. Saturday and Sunday I should be free all day unless family events or other occasions pop up.
I just want to play firefight more and not worry about having to scrounge up people out of nowhere. Also got to get Endure eventually.

my gamertag is Amethyst2185..i’m in the central time zone and play evenings on weekdays, and on weekends anytime is fair game…send me a friend request please cause i haven’t been able to play firefight yet…great idea by the way ;)

Gamertag: VAVA Mk2
Usually play about 7-10 EST Time Zone weekdays, Weekends varies throughout the weekend. PM me if you wanna set up a match and try to get achievements. Want to get Endure and Deja Vu and still need Annual in Halo 3

Also, my buddy Kevin plays with me around that same time. His GT is haloelon207

If I’m not online it usually means I’m out jamokin’ it with my buds, anyone posting on here feel free to add me so I can get a team together for ” Endure ” and ” Deja Vu ” Vidmaster achievements. Also I’ll help you get any other achievements or get all the Firefight par scores topped. If you have a Bungie.net account check out my fileshare, I got some pretty cool stuff on there.

Playtime: WD/WE/PM, I’m on in the afternoons everyday after 5pm ish (Pacific time) and all weekend. I’m a legit general, and am trying to find a few people to do the vidmaster achievements. If you help me, I’ll gladly return the favor. Add me if interested!

Hey there people. Gamertag is Darkhound64. I need help with the ODST vidmaster challanges (the firefight one and the no hog or scorpion one) I live in New Zealand and am mainly on during holidays or weekends.

I don’t want to delete any of the comments as the majority of them contain additional information beyond what I publish in the master list. I’ll keep my fingers crossed that your connection continues to hold up. :)

We are I AM PHOENIX and BRATROWE we play mostly weekends but get on weekdays as well. We really want to get achievements and don’t think thats possible with just 2 of us. Let’s play. Weekdays we’ll be on 3pm-8pm central time (TX) and weekends usually around 12pm-11pm central time

What is mature? If you like to sing while you play, punch your teammates while they’re shooting enemies, hog all the power weapons, play as an army of one and if you spell the word team with the letter ” I ” then please DO NOT BOTHER.

Looking for mature players to shoot for Firefight Achievements, also campaign on Legendary. I’m not a super- awesome player but not a Noob either, just someone who doesn’t get to play as much as I’d like. Also open for Halo3, Gears 1&2, L4D, RE5.

Gamertag: bruender09
Timezone: GMT-6
I usually play weekends but ocassionally late on weekdays.
I am on mostly at night but it depends.
Im hoping to get the vidmaster achievements and beat legendary co-op.
Right now i dont do much co-op.

So apparently, chiefnuts05 is too offensive. I got asked to change my gamertag so it’s now chiefnutszr. If I get asked to change it again, I’m calling XBL to ask WTF? Anyway, you can delete chiefnuts05 off your list and exchange it with chiefnutszr. Still WD/WE, AM/PM

Ill be on at 9pm tonight pacific time (utc-8), looking for GOOD, keyword good, teamates that can survive, so we can actually finish heroic vidmaster endure. Add me if you want to get this achievement tonight.

I’ve already gotten all the achievements in ODST, but I was wondering if you could still add me to the list so I can help others out? I want to play some more, and I think this would be a good way of doing it. If not, then I understand.

GT: Shotgunchief
Zone: Central
Times: M-W I can’t play until 6, but Thursday and Friday I can play after 3:30 (college classes). Weekends I can play whenever.

– may help with vidmasters, but I can’t always get two other people, so don’t come asking for help by yourself and expecting an immediate vidmaster. it’s something you need a skilled team to do; something you must work for. and if you’re not that good, no offense, but I may not be able to help you. ODST is about team effort, especially since you share lives in Firefight.

– will help with Campaign, including audio logs.

– don’t quit. if you know your mom is going to come in your room and tell you to go to bed as soon as she catches you staying up late, then don’t ask to play Firefight with me. Just wait until you have a good two hours or so of uninterrupted time. Now campaign you can do, because of checkpoints.

Don’t know if anyone is still doing this but i’m on GMT, play day and night. Already got some team mates so stragglers wanted. My Gamertag is Batman9946, if you add with a message saying something like “ODST?” i’ll invite you to the party and you can meet the team.
